I'm guessing that Richard Blumenthal and Elizabeth Esty from Connecticut are up for reelection next year. They constantly stick their face in front of a TV camera. So the big news today is that the woman that was supposed to be deported today has been granted an extension she admitted that she came here under falsified names and a falsified passport. She's been here for 17 years, she married a US citizen who is also Albanian and she's had 3 kids here that are all US citizens. They own a very popular restaurant, so why hasn't she worked towards getting an immigration lawyer and fixing this mess over the last 17 years? Instead she waits until deportation orders come thru and all of a sudden - there's a crisis and prayer vigils and all kinds of news . And of course Richard Blumenthal gets the microphone and says " this is exactly why we need immigration reform, the present system is broken". Well, do we need to remind him that his Democratic president has been in office for the last 8 years and never fixed it . Now our Republican president has inherited it. They should have done something about fixing it.
